Description

Greystnelees Farmhouse, built around 1840 with later additions and alterations, is a symmetrical, two-storey, three-bay farmhouse with a piended porch at the front. The building has a rectangular plan and features a lower wing at the rear that forms a near L-plan, along with a further single-storey addition beyond. The front and northwest sides are constructed of coursed sandstone, while the southeast side is finished in coursed render. The rear additions are made from heavily-pointed sandstone rubble. Notable features include droved quoins, droved margins, and projecting cills.

On the southwest (entrance) elevation, there is a single window in the piended porch that projects at the center, with a corresponding single window aligned above it on the first floor. Flanking bays also contain single windows on both floors. The northwest (side) elevation has a two-bay block to the right with a single window at ground level offset to the right and another single window at the first floor to the left. To the left is a single-storey, two-bay range with a modern window to the right and a single window to the left. A lower rubble range is located at the outer left, featuring a single window offset to the right of center.

The southeast (side) elevation includes a two-storey block to the left with a single window at ground level offset to the left of center. There is a timber panelled door in a single-storey porch that is recessed to the outer left. A single window in a single-storey lean-to addition is recessed to the right, and a rubble range is recessed to the outer right, with a gabled porch projecting at the center.

The farmhouse predominantly features 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows, although there are some modern windows at the rear and various rooflights. The roofs are covered with grey slate and include brick-built wallhead stacks with various circular cans.

The interior was not seen in 1998. The property is enclosed by rubble-coped garden walls, with arched coping on the rubble quadrant walls flanking the entrance to the northwest and modern gates. Square-plan sandstone gatepiers flank the entrance to the southeast, although the gates are missing.
